Update an Opportunity's Custom Fields

API Q&A
,
1

I am looking at the REST API and see that under the Update an Opportunity has Custom Fields. I know that they recently added Retrieve Opportunity Model and the ability to view the custom fields when you use the Retrieve an Opportunity.

Is is now possible to update an Opportunity’s Custom Fields?
I really need this as my other tool (Parsey) that allows this keeps braking on me!
I have tried the code below and it does nothing.

{
"custom_fields": [
{
  "id": 16,
  "content": "TEXT"
},
{
  "id": 18,
  "content": "TEXT"
},
{
  "id": 20,
  "content": "TEXT"
},
{
  "id": 12,
  "content": "TEXT"
},
{
  "id": 14,
  "content": "TEXT"
}
  ]
}

Any advice would really help. I have tried looking into the legacy API but I cannot for the life of me wrap my head around how to use that at all. I am using Zapier to build in these features and it only accepts JSON.

Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, Opportunities have not been updated to support Custom Field value setting via REST at this time.

They finally added this a while back. You can now use the REST API to update the custom fields for Opportunities.
